I don't understand why that is. 3D floors aren't a hardware trick, unlike reflective floors or dynamic lights.

That is because I don't see the point in changing the software renderer. It is preserved because it exists, not because I consider it useful. GZDoom -nogl is merely an improved ZDoom to allow those who just want .96x combined with all the latest bug fixes.
Adding 3D floor support to a renderer that has no concept of depth is a major pain and ZDoom's renderer is considerably more complex than Legacy's which doesn't have to bother with slopes and also doesn't contain many of ZDoom's speed optimizations.

-nogl works. In March I'll get a new motherboard, so I'll have my card installed then and I should be able to play GZ then... I'm gunna try GZDoom out secretly on someone elses computer (someone has a card) just to make sure...

I too am kind of stuck with the ...
Could not set resolution to 640 x 480 x 32
I am able to launch gzDoom with -nogl and have tried fiddling with many settings in my ini file.
?Do any of the ini settings allow you to override the colordepth?
I've tried ...
vid_displaybits=8 (& 16)
vid_defbits=8 (& 16)
gl_vid_refreshHz=60 (& 85)
these seem to have no effect?
vid_defheight=480 (& 600)
vid_defwidth=640 (& 800)
Both seem to alter the message as I would expect ...
but it is always ( WWW x HHH x 32)
I am quite confident that my sad video card (built-in crap) Intel 82815 does not have any modes with 32bit color depth.
This is also confirmed on their support site.

After poking around the source I finally found gl_vid_compatibility.
Setting that to true got gzdoom up in GL Mode.
Thanks and enjoy

You have indeed quite a crap card there. Unfortunately you won't get any advanced rendering features with this.
